JOE K's KID

Justine & Justin met by chance at a phone room job, and started writing music together. Justin taught Justine to play bass guitar and they started playing in a few local bands together backing other singers. They signed a publishing/administration agreement with Bug Music a few years later and it was the staff at Bug who encouraged Justine to sing their own songs, and that's how JOE K's KID was born. Along with playing live, the two writers compose for film and tv and recently wrote music for G4TV and film trailers for Miramax and Buena Vista.

JOE K was a great man. He was Justine's dad and an amazing person who had a hell of a voice himself. The band's sound combines Justine's love of Jeff Buckley, George Michael, Sinatra, U2 and Travis, with Justin's love also of Jeff Buckley, Hendrix, U2 and James Brown. Justin mainly composes the music and Justine mainly writes the lyrics. Both thank God that they answered an add for selling theater tickets over the phone!
